As CEO and Co-Founder of Cayan, Henry Helgeson is responsible for driving the future vision of the company, ensuring that Cayan remains at the forefront of payments innovation.
enry launched Merchant Warehouse (now Cayan) in 1998, the first company to provide easily accessible and affordable credit card processing services and equipment.
He led the launch of Genius, an industry-leading payment technology platform that now powers payment acceptance at thousands of leading retailers and businesses throughout the U.S. and he continues to drive expansion of the Genius platform as well as new product offerings and value-adds.
Henry is an active member of the Electronic Transactions Association's (ETA's) Mobile Payments Committee.He has spoken at numerous events and conferences including ETA, Money20/20, RSPA Retail Now, SXSW and PYMNTS.com.
In 2012, he received the ETA Member of the Year Award, recognizing his contributions to the future success of the industry and he has been named to the Boston Business Journal's (BBJ's) "40 under 40" list.

"There will never be a bigger opportunity [than EMV]," said Henry Helgeson, chief executive of Cayan LLC, a Boston-based processor that works with VARs and ISVs.
"ISVs that don't [sell EMV] will regret it at next year's [RetailNOW].
Helgeson was part of a six-person panel Wednesday that was formed to discuss major themes in the POS industry but wound up spending most of its time on EMV.

That point made an impression on Helgeson.
"I'm flabbergasted that mag-stripe-only readers are still going out there," he said.

"I hope people aren't making the mistake of putting in EMV without NFC," Helgeson noted.

Given that NFC handsets using Android are already in use, Android Pay could make NFC even more of a common payment method, says Henry Helgeson, chief executive of Boston-based Cayan, a payments technology company.Cayan's Genius platform, which enables merchants to accept payments and offers, works with Android Pay.

"This is a case of a rising tide floats all boats," Helgeson tells Digital Transactions News.
"NFC has now become the standard."

The real value, however, lies not just in the mobile-payments capability, but the combined offers and coupons, Helgeson says.
